Being poor and horny can be a drag if you're looking to spice things up with a sex toy. Your hand (or partner) is great, but sometimes you want to feel something different. Maybe you want to try out a kink but have no money for new sex toys.

You don’t have to go without because you’re broke. Make homemade sex toys or use stuff around the house instead. Just remember to wash/clean any household item before and after you use it.

Veggie sex toys

It might sound cliche for a homemade sex toy, but people have penetrated themselves with cylindrical vegetables for years. A cucumber was my first dildo. Don’t peel it but wash it first. Whatever you do, don’t insert it all the way into your body - vagina or anus. That’s not something you want to explain to the emergency room as they try to extract it for you.

Sex toys for spanking

Want to spank your partner or yourself? Check your kitchen. Spoons, spatulas, and other utensils make great sex toys for spanking. Either keep your kitchen utensils on your nightstand as your new toys or clean them thoroughly before you put them back.

A vibrating sex toy

You already have a homemade vibrator, and you probably didn’t know it. If you’ve got an electric toothbrush, place the base (not the bristle side) against your clit or wherever you love vibrations, and turn it on. This sex toy will make you feel the pleasure all the way up to your teeth.

An unexpected sex toy

Please tell me I’m not the only person who’s penetrated herself with a hairbrush handle? Thick handles, thin handles, curvy/wavy handles, they’ll all make a good sex toy! Just remember only to insert the handle, and don’t forget the lube.

A multi-purpose sex toy

Use the pillows on your bed or the couch as a homemade sex toy. Clitoris-owners can grind against a firm pillow to add a bit of friction. During sex, stack a few or grab a thick one in place of a wedge. You’ll change the angle of penetration and get new sensations as a result.

Sex toys for kinkier play

Want to get kinky? Is your partner loud enough to make the neighbours nervous? You don’t need to buy a sex toy for gagging. Stuff their underwear in their mouth instead. If the idea of dirty underwear squicks you out, grab a clean pair first.

The perfect no-mess sex toy in disguise

A no-mess sex toy

For those lucky enough to have the fancy kind of showerhead - with a massager and multiple settings - this sex toy in disguise probably comes as no surprise. Grab the showerhead and aim it at your most sensitive parts. Another homemade vibrator staring you in the face.., or the groin.

Sex toys for bondage play

For kinksters who love a good spanking, the belt is no surprise. But if you don't have any proper bondage sex toys, a belt will do the trick. Wrap it around your partner’s wrists and hold on.

DIY sex toy for men

If you’ve got a penis and wished you could afford a sleeve sex toy, you could make your own. Grab a plastic glove. Roll a towel around it; you should still be able to work in a finger or two. Get the lube and make it nice and slick. Slide your penis in while you keep a firm grip on the towel roll.

A sex toy that gives you the chills

Temperature play is a great way to heat things up in the bedroom, pun intended. Frozen water costs nothing and makes for a great sex toy. Run it over your partner’s neck, down their chest, over their nipples. You can also let the ice melt on your tongue before you go down on them.

Get some ice cubes out and explore temperature play

Sex toys for BDSM play

Nipple clamps are a fun BDSM sex toy, but if your bank account is empty, look around your house. Do you have clothespins or chip clips? You’ve got homemade nipple clamps! Don’t leave them on for more than fifteen minutes as they will affect blood circulation. That’s not a conversation you want to have with a doctor either.

A sex toy for your french maid fantasy

Make sure it's immaculate before you bring it to the bedroom. Tickling feathers can be an erotic sex toy. Dust isn’t. Once you know it won’t cause your asthma to flare up, run it over your partner’s body (or your own). It should feel a little tickly in some spots and sensuous in others.

DIY or homemade sex toys are a good idea even if you’re not broke. It’s fun to look around your house and think, “I wonder what that will feel like!” But when you have no money to spare on sex toys, homemade pleasure is a great option.
